R. DeBenedictis 1965 Calcarius laponicus 23 July Barrow, Alaska - saw 1 a 2 in such heavy molt they can barely fly. Is getting very ratly in plumage. 26 July About as common in the Ikaovik area as anywhere, and little indication of this nesting. Several seem with very stubby bills but they appear to be adults. Two seem toched the median head strips and appeared very strange, almost like Savannah Sparrows. 29 July Saw at least two bob-tailed young by AACS about 6 pm.
